with the 3.70 version what range do you get what terrain do you hunt? Are you also updating the collar? Running dc 20/30/40??

I run only 40's ....Where I live we can hunt a verity of area from sand to hills.... Hills is around a mile, last week in the sand, I could get around 1.5 mile with the stock antennas on the collars and the short antenna on the 320.. Add the long antenna on the hand held and tuff skins on the collars and you will pick up about 500 yards or more..

I update everything...The newest update is for the collar...
If my unit is current, I reinstall the version again. The Garmin teck said running the update kinda cleans your system...
